EVE General Discussion

I'm a carebear, I hug hisec like a child hugs their favourite toy. I personally don't want the PVP dynamic of Eve to change, Space is a cold dark harsh enviroment, it's not civilised and the little law enforcement that we have is designed to punish not protect, this is a good thing btw it adds risk.

I see lots of threads whining about hulkageddon, burning tradehubs, ninja salvagers, scammers etc, these are legitimate gameplay options as far as I'm concerned.

Eve is harsh, the gameplay options that people are whining about have been in the game for it's entire life, they make Eve what it is, they make Eve different from pretty much any other title out there. Nobody, other than CCP, would have the bottle to let us do what we do in Eve, or would have even thought to provide the frameworks that let us choose from the whole spectrum of "evil" empires in null to corps dedicated to helping out noobs, sometimes they are one and the same.

Anybody in Eve can rise to the top of the food chain, but you can't do it alone, you need the support of people who are involved in all aspects of Eve, some charisma and good planning will take you far as well

To those that are doom mongering about Eve and gameplay that they don't like, please kindly shut up and take your whining elsewhere, you make those of us that adapt and deal with it look bad, you also feed the trolls (please don't do this, some of them are fat enough already )

Eve has worked fine as it is for the last 9 years, the PVP dynamic doesn't need to change, if it did change so that hisec became safer I dare say a lot of players would actually leave to be replaced by the instant gratification crowd that leave after a couple of month because Eve=Effort.

Eve has a reputation for being a merciless environment, it's reputed to be a hardcore MMO and yes the learning curve is steep. These are what keeps the oiks out, the game itself filters out those that are unworthy .

TL;DR

Stop whining, start doing or GTFO

Cyno jammers can be got around, it requires effort, planning, coordination and above all "balls of steel" but there are these things called gates that allow you to travel pretty much anywhere, the downside is that everyone will know that you're coming and organise a counter attack but that's a risk you have to be willing to take. Nullsec warfare proves that this is the case, alliances beat the living snot out of each other all the time despite cyno jammers.

For a more realistic blankie look at all the trade alts that never ever leave Jita 4-4, now that's a security blanket made of indestructible space pixels.

DOH, didn't read properly, my bad.

I take it that you're referring to the possibility of getting hotdropped when you try and take on a cap in lowsec. I do believe the faction warfare guys would like a word with you, they managed to take down a PL titan quite recently in Amamake, despite the inevitable hotdrop.

you.....do realize you can use Plex remotely, right? You could be in your Class 6 Wormhole, buy a Plex in Jita, or the ass end of null sec, say, Drone space, via contracts, and activate it right there.

As I quoted a former poster, "destroys haulers full of 90 plex and drive away millions of people from the game, CCP loses money."

Why would anyone have 90 Plex in a hualer? If they lose it, that is their own stupidity. If they rage quit and leave, well..... EVE might be better off without them.

Stupid is as stupid does

Over 75% of players live in HS -and I class all HS (risk-adverse) dwellers carebears- plus there are the null-bears. So lets say 80-85% of all players are carebears. Therefore, Eve will not exist without them. Simples
